Amendment No. 1 was offered by Representative Eastman:
Page 4, following line 9:
Insert a new bill section to read:
"* Sec. 3. AS 18.65.220 is amended by adding a new subsection to
read:
(b) The councilmay not establish standards for employment
under (a)(2) of this section or reject an applicant for admission to
a police training program, or otherwise treat a person differently,
solely because of the source of the person's high school diploma
or equivalent credential. Nothing in this subsection prohibits the
council from inquiring into the content of a secondary educational
program to determine whether a person meets qualifications, other
than a requirement to have a high school diploma or the
equivalent, required for employment or for admission to a police
training program."
Renumber the following bill sections accordingly.
